Mine is in baseball, Brian Cole of Meridian, MS. Died tragically at 22 years old in 2001. He was 5'9" 160, and could've been one of the best power hitters in MLB history, no joke.
If you have never heard of Brian Cole, please take 10 minutes to read this Sports Illustrated article on him from 2013.

Demetrius Summers - He was the best HS RB I had ever seen, up to that point in time, and then he just couldn't stop smoking weed.

Tray Blackmon is one of the best football players I've ever seen. Sadly, he was suspended at Auburn and also missed time for injury, I think. Would've made a badass weak side linebacker in time, and would've gotten all the right coaching under Will Muschamp and Tommy Tuberville. He ended up leaving his junior year and playing in some other league not named the NFL.

Danario Alexander.
Was a complete beast when he could actually get on the field, but had knee injury after knee injury and his body just failed him. Was actually a starting NFL WR playing on a 50% knee, and playing well. Would have been a superstar had he stayed healthy.
Most pure talent of any football player we had in the Pinkel era, imo

Does someone like Marcus Lattimore count? He was drafted but never played a snap before he retired due to lingering injury issues from college.
Also, does making it to the non-major leagues count? Devan Downey was incredible but never did make it to the NBA or even one of their developmental teams. Is technically playing pro-ball though for various foreign teams.

I think he played in some preseason with the Dolphins

He was a stud. Tragic story and shocked our home town.

Elite NFL WR if he stayed healthy.
